Big First Half Leads Mariners to Conference Victory Over Farmington

CASTINE, Maine - Maine Maritime Academy scored the first nine goals and held on in the second half to clinch a 12-6 North Atlantic Conference (NAC) victory over the University of Maine at Farmington in women's lacrosse action on Saturday afternoon.

The Records:

With the setback, the Beavers dropped to 3-5 overall and are now 1-1 in conference play. Maine Maritime improved to 3-3 with a 1-0 record in NAC action.

How it Happened:

Bella Scolaro paced the Mariners in the opening quarter, scoring three goals in the first 12 and a half minutes of action while also adding an assist as Maine Maritime opened up a 5-0 lead after the first quarter. Julia Wade and Rebecca Caron also each scored in the quarter for the Mariners.

The offensive surge continued in the second quarter for Maine Maritime, as four different players found the back of the net to extend the lead to 9-0 heading into halftime. Hayden Meffert, Lillian Diversi, Wade, and Hadley Stoddard all recorded second-quarter goals as the Mariners took a commanding lead into the break.

Farmington came out of halftime on a mission, scoring the next four goals to pull within five. Senior Sadie Harvey (Bethel, Maine) and Ruby McMinis (Wells, Maine) scored just 28 seconds apart to spark the Beavers' offense. Junior midfielder Emma Dunn (Farmington, Maine) and McMinis each tallied goals in the final three minutes of the quarter to make it a 9-4 game heading into the fourth.

The Mariners halted Farmington's run in the opening moments of the fourth quarter, as Scolaro recorded her fourth goal of the contest to make it 10-4.

Dunn answered with a man-up goal with 7:16 remaining to make it a five-goal game once again, but the Beavers were beginning to run out of time.

Wade added a goal just inside the three-minute mark to make it 11-5 and all but end Farmington's comeback hopes.

Dunn scored her third goal of the contest in the final minute, but Scolaro added another goal of her own as the Mariners secured the 12-6 victory in Castine.
